Notices |
Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

He's definitely a busy little beaver. I'm betting he thinking, law of averages, the more people he hits up, just one maybe gullible enough, and wallah "PAYDAY" We all know, there's been several who have fallen for this scam.
I'll not miss the BOI, but it has been a great tool in outing scammers, liars, and thieves.

I got this today...Hi,
Your payment has been sent but there is something i think i must bring to your notice. I just found out that my Assistant overpaid you. The payment meant for another item was made out in your name and sent to you.
However I want to believe I wont have a problem with you on this.Once you receive the payment, Please proceed to the bank and cash the payment,
deduct your money and I will let you know what to do with the balance. I hope I can fully trust you with this? I will await your response on this so my mind can be at ease.
Thanks.

I had someone try to pull something similar on me many years ago. What I did was to keep coming up with excuses about why the shipment didn't go out yesterday as plan. Dragged it on for a week or three. Then told him it had shipped! Then kept on coming up with confusion on why he hadn't received it yet. Then finally said I was going to send out another shipment, since the first one obviously was lost. And again, not understanding how the shipper could screw up a second shipment. And I didn't have a clue about why the tracking number wasn't working for him...
I hope it drove him crazy.
